Our dogs

Most importantly, our dogs are pets — they all live in the
house, go for walks, play with children and enjoy their cuddles! In
addition, they get to do as much or as little 'work' as they
enjoy: Aragorn loved his obedience
(and he was a huge fan of agility until I had to say that enough was
enough due to injuries), but still enjoys his walks with the rest of
the gang. Gala competed in breed
showing (lots of food!), agility, obedience and herding, but now, aged
11, sticks to her walks with the 13 year old
Ara. Eowyn is a very natural herding
girl, but has enjoyed her time in obedience and conformation rings
too. Eo's children, Buffy
and Dream help out on a local sheep farm
(along with Eo), while Raven
and Fëa, occassionally joined by Dream, compete in agility at the
highest level. Raven's baby, Pip is showing a lot of talent in herding, has done incredibly well in conformation, and is also enjoying her agility training and we hope that in 2019, she'll be joining her mum at some agility competitions too!

We aim to breed dogs with a solid temperament, which are suitable for
any discipline, be it breed showing, agility, obedience, or
herding. Healthy dogs are very important to us — this is the
reason we started the Anadune Border Collie
Database which allows breeders to check that planned matings are
free of hereditary diseases.

We take a long time over deciding on possible stud dogs, making sure
they complement the girls in every way. The dogs in the Anadune kennel
are a mixture of New Zealand, Australian and English lines, and we
research the dog's background thoroughly before signing them up for
the job! Please take a look at the puppies
page if you are interested in owning an Anadune puppy: we are planning
a litter in 2019, and there may be further puppies
by Dream in the future.
